United States Fourth Circuit
Hutchins v. US Department of Labor, 11-1375
In an action brought by a former letter carrier who was injured on the job and collected Workers' Compensation, alleging that the Department of Labor's taking from her state court settlement the amount provided by Workers' Compensation violated both FECA and the Constitution, the district court's determination that plaintiff must reimburse the Department of Labor out of a money judgment she obtained in a state court action against the Town of Ninety Six is affirmed where the Town of Ninety Six, South Carolina qualifies as a "person other than the United States" under 5 U.S.C. section 8132.
